Vendoring upgrade

Closes #10708

Hi @pradyunsg, looking forward to the upcoming pip release! 😸

If you want, it should be possible to bump tomli to 1.2.3.

PR #10238 should also unlock 2.0.0 for you.

I'm not entirely sure how I can usefully review this, but it looks OK on a skim, and as long as the CI passes, that works for me.

Hey - Is it not possible to not bundle the pre-built .exe files with distlib? I recall this behaviour being previously flagged as a bug in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2006788 and was wondering why we re-introduced them.

@johnhany97 The executables are essential for building script wrappers on Windows, so no, it's not possible to omit them.

We've never omitted them, I don't know if Redhat did something in the past to remove them as part of their pip patching, but that would be down to them, not us.

Got it - Thank you for the speedy reply @pfmoore
